The Hill's Prescription Diet k/d Kidney Care with Lamb Dry Dog Food is clinically proven nutrition that can help transform your pet’s life. As pets age, damage to the kidney tissues may occur, which affects the kidney’s role to function properly and filter toxins and waste from the blood. It is irreversible, and will lead to further loss of kidney function. This may also decrease their appetite, which could eventually result in the loss of muscle mass. And so the Hill’s nutritionists and veterinarians created this special diet, which supports your dog’s kidney function and helps to sustain muscle mass—in fact, the nutrition of k/d is clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.
Key Benefits- Protects vital kidney and heart function and supports the natural ability to build lean muscle daily.
- Enhanced Appetite Trigger (E.A.T.) technology helps increase the appetite and food intake.
- Made with controlled phosphorus and low sodium, plus therapeutic levels of l-carnitine and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Also includes high levels of essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein.
- Made in USA and clinically tested to improve and lengthen the quality of life.

My 15 yr old pit was diagnosed with early stage 3 kidney disease and I was recommended this food to help ease symptoms from the disease, as well as prolong her life/slow the degeneration a bit. Amazingly she loves the food, her appetite is way better than ever before, she is energetic, and has even gained some weight back. It has only been a couple weeks and on the outside I am seeing great results. We will see in a few months with some bloodwork if it is helping on the inside too.

My dog actually really likes this food. He is 16 but his vet put him on this diet at 15 when he started showing all the signs of acute kidney failure. All his labs were rechecked after starting on this diet and they were all back within a normal limit. I am impressed with how big of a difference it made in him.

We recently found out our Rhodesian Ridgeback has protein in his urine. Our vet suggested early treatment begin with changing his food. I actually became anxious hearing that because our RR is an extremely fussy eater. To our shock and delight, he loves Hills Prescription K/D! We're thrilled. It's only been a about 10 days since we started with this food. We have to check his protein level in about a month to see if it works. Fingers crossed for good test results. Of course, as always, great customer service from Chewy. This dog food requires a veterinarian prescription. Chewy approved the script and we received the kibble to get started. Thanks, Chewy!

My elder pup does not like ANY kibble but will eat this lamb version with very little urging. She does prefer it to the chicken version of this kibble.

I have always shopped at Chewy for my Beagle's food and most of his treats. He is highly allergic to chicken or anything containing byproducts of chicken, like chicken fat. When my vet told me he had to go onto a strict kidney diet, they began researching who sold Hill's Science Diet without any chicken or chicken byproducts in it and I was delighted that it was my favorite store - Chewy. Once they received his script, it took only a few days for me to receive his new food. Chewy goes above and beyond.

My revision of my subscription was processed quickly. My dog loves this new food. Before it was tough getting her to eat now she comes running when she knows I am putting food in her dish.

Winston eats it and even the cats are trying to get a piece of it, lol. Good to mix with the wet food and gives variety to a special diet.

Our Chichuahu is a picky eater. She is not crazy about this food, but will eventually eat it to supplement her once a day soft food.

Great service ...but my dog won't eat the Hills Prescription Kidney Care food.(wet or dry)It would be great if we could buy a few cans, instead of cases, of different brands of special diet food, to see what our pet will eat. I have hundreds of dollars of food he won't eat

Came as expected was not damaged and was on time I wish my dog did not have to eat it cause that would mean he isn’t sick with kidney disease and it’s very expensive to feed this to my 85 pound dog but I will go with less to take care of my baby .
